My previous car history goes a little like this..

Age 17.. passed test.. got a Honda CRX MK2 16v. Had it fully resprayed to milano red (same as the civic type R) Lovely little thing.. if you could cope with continually chasing the rust!




Age 19... was getting a bit bored of the go kart feeling so bought a VW Corrado VR6. Had a few bits colour coded, lowered, Miltek exhaust, Shrick inlet manifold.



Age 21... realised it was much cheaper to insure an Audi S3 than the Corrado so got a nice Nogaro Blue 2001 S3.



... which was a brilliant car... right up until this happened. American guy pulled out without looking my way!




The S3 was so good that I just went and bought another one with the insurance money. This time a fully loaded one. Only option it didn't have was the crappy audi satnav.





Age 25... Sold the S3 and picked up a nice BMW M3 SMG. Stunning car but unfortunately I bought it just at the wrong time just before the prices crashed and the recession hit.





Then had to sell the M3 and make some cuts.... ended up just using my 2006 VW Caddy as my everyday car which now looks like this...



And then there is my current car... ladened with factory extras...
